I want to use FrameMaker! 

For: simultaneous text+graphic contact creation, because I create with these simultaneously, and integration with Illustrator is theoretically perfect. 

Unfortunately, none of my clients use FM, so I haven't had a chance to test this theory.   

Every current client insists on me using Word, which claims page layout capabilities but --as even some  MS people quietly admit-- doesn't really do the job very well.    Exporting AI graphics to  Word brings the word "minefield"  to mind. 

I will give MS credit for identifying that there are a huge number of people in the world creating very short documents with possibly one or or two simple graphics, for which Word is likely quite sufficient and even admirably suited. 

As such, Word dominates the market between SimpleText  and truly professional products such as InDesign.    And, as expectations increase, MS can slowly ratchet up capabilities.  No hurry. 

There's a lesson here.  Adobe, are you listening?
